Overview

On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas in a car driven by Suge Knight. LAPD officers on Death Row Records' payroll were there that night. Six months later, on March 9, 1997, Christopher ""Biggie Smalls"" Wallace was assassinated outside a museum in Los Angeles. Seven independent witnesses identified the trigger man, the college roommate of one of those same officers. The rare ammunition that killed Biggie was found in that officer's garage. In thirty years, no one has ordered the ballistics test. An FBI agent compiled a prosecutive report his supervisors deemed sufficient for indictment. A convicted LAPD officer confessed to his cellmate that he was at the murder scene. A federal judge declared a mistrial after discovering the city had deliberately hidden internal affairs files implicating officers in the killing. And the LAPD authored a 362-page report investigating the very corruption that produced both killers, without mentioning either murder. Not once. Not in three hundred pages. THE DOSSIER is the product of a thirty-year investigation by Emmy-nominated journalist and filmmaker Don Sikorski. Through hidden FBI case files, classified LAPD documents, and exclusive testimony from the federal agent who built the case, it reveals what no previous book, documentary, or investigation has: that the same corrupt police infrastructure killed both Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace and that the evidence has been inside the Los Angeles Police Department the entire time. Not lost. Not destroyed. Buried, by six police chiefs, five district attorneys, and a city that decided two murdered Hip-Hop superstars weren't worth the cost of the truth. This book names the officers. It traces the cover-up across three decades. And in its final chapter, it does something no investigation has ever done, it names every person in a position of authority who holds the evidence and has chosen silence. The evidence is inside the building. This book opens the door.
